Re: has anybody bought boyds gas tank?
call David Boyd, PM him or email. He will fix you up, the 63-72 tanks are pretty much all the same except you can chose where to have the fill at. The fram rails are identical.

Re: has anybody bought boyds gas tank?
Double check your dimensions because the panhard bar brace doesn't sit in the frame @ 90 degrees(one side doesnt have the clearance as the other).That being said,I bought one of Dave's tanks (for a 61) and I am very happy with it!He'll build any dimensions you need.

Re: has anybody bought boyds gas tank?
The frames are the same from '63-'72. So a tank intended for a '67-'72 will fit the same in a '63-'66. This is why the '69-'72 Blazer tanks will fit the '63-'72 trucks. I have read in his for sale thread about the crossmember issue with the shortbed trucks. Since he is now aware of the issue, I would think it has been taken care of.

Re: has anybody bought boyds gas tank?
We have found that some of the shortbeds have the rear crossmember in a slightly forward position, by one inch. Not sure if this was a plant differance issue or MFG issue, measure twice, then call.
